[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1442299, member: 13110"] That's interesting about the XCR. Maybe they worked out their heat treating to make it work in a stainless action or they just don't care. Bean counters don't usually make the wisest decisions. That is probably why Remington is in bankruptcy. They never use to build them on stainless actions. I've seen 300 RUM's experience growing headspace on SS actions if pushed hard. I ran some 180's 3650fps in one of my RUM's. The brass handles it for one shot and then the primer pockets are toast. You can do the same thing with a 338 Edge using H-1000 and 300gr bullets. The normal node is 2825 ish but the next one up is 2950+. I don't recommend doing any of those things but I've done it. Most custom actions use similar Rc numbers. [/QUOTE]
